Grammy winning singer/songwriter E.R. " class="align-top text-decoration-none text-primary"> H.E.R. has launched her own Signature Stratocaster in collaboration with Fender, becoming the first Black female artist to have her own Fender Artist Signature guitar. The instrument was 'designed to the artist's specifications with a distinctive look and exceptional tone', and H.E.R. commented 'Fender was the reason I began playing guitar... so it's absolutely surreal I have partnered with Fender to design my own Signature Stratocaster.... By designing a Stratocaster with a colour, shape and sound that is 100% my own, my hope is that other young women and players from all backgrounds feel inspired to pick up this guitar, tap into their thoughts and create amazing music'.
